 Early Canada Historical Narratives -- UPPER CANADA'S LIEUTENANT-GOVERNORS AND THE COLONIAL OFFICE
When Governor Gore promptly appointed his own secretary to this position, people in the province were disappointed, for they knew the governor would exercise close control over the agent, monitor his actions and interpret his reports to suit the interests of the governor and not necessarily those of the colony.
Governors were selected, not because of any special aptitude for or knowledge about the colony, but for reasons usually unrelated to the interests of the colony to which they were being sent.

N.B. — From 1846 a volume containing the reports of the Colonial Governors (including Malta) for 1845 was issued.

In the colonies, this conflict was known as King George's War (1744-1748), because it involved the family connection of German born and German bred George I. To a large extent, it was fought in Europe, but in the New World, it took place in Canada.
With assistance from the northern colonies, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and an army of civilians, led by William Pepperrell, aided by the British, fleet, the impossible was accomplished.
Governor Shirley now turned to plans for the invasion of Canada by a colonial militia, but the British military were not about to allow such an independent venture for their colonial subjects.

 Historical Biographies, Nova Scotia: Charles des Champs de Boishébert (1729- 1797).
Ramezay was to wait at the Isthmus of Chignecto and station himself and the bulk of his forces there until he received further orders directly from his French superiors; who, it was expected, would be casting their anchors out into the harbouring waters of Chebucto (Halifax) at some point during the summer of 1746.
He experienced with his soldiers and his new colony the most frightful destitution, in spite of the economy he had practised in the distribution of foodstuffs.
Upon receiving orders from Governor Drucour at Louisbourg, Boishébert traveled, at some risk of being discovered, by land and by water with "eight hundred men, as many soldiers as militia and Indians" so to arrive at Louisbourg safely.

Posted by the bridegroom, often with a second person, usually the father or brother of the bride, these were to defray the cost of litigation in the event the marriage was nullified.
Sometimes a parent (usually the father) or guardian went with the couple and gave verbal permission; in other instances a printed form or handwritten consent was used.
Marriage records in the United States can be found primarily at the county and town clerks' offices, but in some cases they are found in the records of churches, ministers, justices of the peace, military, state vital records and boards of health offices, and colonial governors.
